Intel Desktop Board DH67GD Product Guide

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

Follow these instructions to upgrade the BIOS using the ISO Image BIOS file:

1.Download the ISO Image BIOS file.

2.Using software capable of uncompressing and writing an ISO image file to CD, burn the data to a blank CD.

NOTE

Copying the ISO Image BIOS file to CD will not work. The completed CD should contain multiple files and a directory.

3.Insert the CD that was created in the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be upgraded and boot the system.

4.When the "Press ENTER to continue booting from CD-ROM" prompt appears, press the Enter key. The system will boot from the hard drive if no key is pressed within 15 seconds.

5.At the "Welcome to the Intel Desktop Board BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM" page, press any key to confirm the BIOS upgrade operation.

6.Wait for the BIOS upgrade process to complete.

CAUTION

DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR COMPUTER before the update is complete. The update may take up to 5 minutes.

Recovering the BIOS

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required.

You can obtain the Recovery BIOS Update file through your computer supplier or by navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DH67GD page on the Intel World Wide Web site Download Center at http://downloadcenter.intel.com.

On the DH67GD page, click on the “BIOS Update” link and then select the Recovery BIOS Update file.
